I’ve gotten comfortable with selecting nursery material and want to try my hand at selecting more developed, pre-bonsai type material. The trees in both of these pictures will be around the same price (~$400 when accounting for shipping and taxes). I would like to know what you all would choose and why.
To me, the hinoki is definitely interesting, but there’s something not quite right. I’m not sure if it’s that the trunks are too straight or awkwardly spaced or if it’s the very bulbous lower trunk that makes it look less like a tree, but something feels off. The kishu looks nice but the trunk is a little small and it’s rather basic. I’d love to hear what other people think.
